When first designing the Selenium Grid, users must decide whether they want to use physical machines or virtual machines. In this day and age of cloud computing, most users are going with a virtual grid of some sort, using either Amazon Web Services, VMware, or the Microsoft Azure Cloud Services. With mobile devices, users can test against iPhone simulators running on macOS VMs, and Android emulators running on Linux and MS-Windows VMs.
To connect to the remote VM node, users can use VMware vCloud Director, Apple Remote Desktop Client, Remote Desktop Client for Windows or Linux, RealVNC, and so on.
When running tests remotely on a grid, the test always starts on either a local IDE or a Jenkins Slave of some sort. The actual browser or mobile device will start on the remote node itself, not on the local VM or the Jenkins Slave. The Selenium WebDriver events will be...

Overview of this book
Selenium WebDriver 3.x is an open source API for testing both browser and mobile applications. With the help of this book, you can build a solid foundation and learn to easily perform end-to-end testing on web and mobile browsers.
You'll begin by focusing on the Selenium Page Object Model for software development. You'll architect your own framework with a scalable driver class, Java utility classes, and support for third-party tools and plugins. Next, you'll design and build a Selenium Grid from scratch to enable the framework to scale and support different browsers, mobile devices, and platforms. You'll also strategize and handle a rich web UI using the advanced WebDriver API, and learn techniques to tackle real-time challenges in WebDriver. Later chapters will guide you through performing different types of testing, such as cross-browser testing, load testing, and mobile testing. Finally, you will be introduced to data-driven testing, using TestNG to create your own automation framework.
By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be able to design your own automation testing framework and perform data-driven testing with Selenium WebDriver.
This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt books:
• Selenium WebDriver 3 Practical Guide - Second Edition by Unmesh Gundecha
• Selenium Framework Design in Data-Driven Testing by Carl Cocchiaro
